In the uk the laws are much stricter as regards getting paid, if you take a case they have 30 days to pay up.

Here, it’s much worse and many a building company or small subbie goes to the wall because of assholes not paying them.

It’s a tough business, profits are small because costs are huge and you’ve to be a tough bastard to make a living in it.

Given all that, they should know, you must pay your workers. I don’t blame him for being pissed off, who knows what bills or pressure he has to sort out, most companies have to pay their employees every week and wait months on end, if ever to get that money paid out by the contractor. You don’t mess people around like that.

Fair play to him.
He was tired of being robbed.
As Joe Pesci says in Casino - If I'd any heart I'd be out stealing for a living.

Spot on , everyone else does it.

From the article

Award-winning Irish chef Richard Corrigan has offered a £1,000 reward for information about a customer who “dined and dashed” at one of his London restaurants.
The restaurateur, 54, posted a picture on social media of a man who he said racked up a £1,500 bill and “finished with a Cuban (then) walked in to the night” after eating at Corrigan’s Mayfair on December 18.
He renewed his appeal on Twitter on Friday, saying there was “1000 Corrigan eating pounds” on offer for anyone with information about the man he called “Mr Pimpernel”.

Must of been this lot

The contractor's Xmas wages weren't paid until mid January and some of them that weren't chasing for payment are yet to receive it.

But just as soon as Trump gets his money for the wall they will all be paid, right!

Maybe this lad will get a job building the wall.
So long as he isn't Mexican that is.

Receptionist;
"I'm sorry sir, we have a No mini-digger policy in this hotel"

Customer;
"What, you never told me that when I booked it. I go everywhere in my mini-digger.
Feck, that ceiling is low, isn't it!"

Surely his beef was with the contractor, rather than Travelodge directly?

There was no beef whatsoever! The EAT "planetary health diet" made sure of that ...

In a restaurant in León, Spain a few years ago a group of 120 left without paying.
As dessert was being served they got up and started to do the conga around the restaurant and
once the first person headed out the door, the rest followed. They all hopped into their cars and
left a 2000k bill.

Am I missing something? The link is to a story about a fella smashing up a Travelodge. Where's the comedy?

Comedy is subjective.
